Yesterday, I sat down to write today’s “Tarot Tutorial.” And I couldn’t. A Minnesota woman’s face kept floating through my mind. As did the cold memories sparked by the anniversary of January 6, 2021. As did the news from Venezuela, and maybe Greenland, too. As...
One of the biggest obstacles would-be Tarot readers have is the idea that learning Tarot is yet one more thing to add to their list. And frankly, everyone’s list is already way too long. But learning Tarot is not a box to check. It is NOT one more thing you “need” to...
You don’t need one more crystal. You don’t need one more herb bundle. You don’t need one more influencer telling you how to Witch. Or maybe that’s just me. If you’re like me, you crave community. And in these wild times, community is more important than ever. A good...
Last week I mentioned how winter is the unsung hero of the Witchy year. And this time of year has no shortage of beautiful rituals—whether they be simple ones such as giving a gift to another person, or great community rites around bonfires meant to call back the sun....

Recently, someone asked me if it’s “okay” to ask the same question twice in a row? Of course it is! Remember, nothing in Tarot is NOT okay. In fact, if the first reading isn’t clear, it’s fine to try again. But since repeat questions can cause confusion, here is a...
“This timeline” (as the kids say…) has no shortage of dread. Some people are unnerved by the news. Others by things on the streets. Still others by things they can’t put their finger on. While there are plenty of reasons to have hope about the future, many...
This week, someone asked me: “Is the 7 of Swords bad all of the time?” Sometimes known as “the thieves card,” the 7 of Swords is one that routinely gets a bad reputation. But that’s not all there is to it. If you wonder if the 7 of Swords is an automatic bad omen,...
